Abstract

Maxillofacial prosthetics is a specialised profession that seeks to meet the needs of patients with various degrees of facial deformity by restoring aesthetic and functional portions of missing tissue using artificial materials. The objective of this study is to streamline the process of fabrication of facial prosthetics with the help of the 3D scanning, CAD/CAM and 3D Printing (Rapid Prototyping). Thus reducing the time and cost to make prosthetics. Further making the whole process a lot easier for doctors. The case was taken from the Oral Science Department of PGIMER, Chandigarh. A case of orbital defect was reconstructed
